Since TLP version 0.7.0 acpi-call and tpacpi-bat also can do the trick for battery tresholds.I installed the packages but no result. They don't seem to have the right folder structure made into the filesystem.

I've not seen anybody on the forum with the Thinkpad T430So I think you may get better help on one of the Thinkpad focused forums.

I have a pretty recent HP Laptop ~ TS13, I installed TLP and that was it, never even looked at config options.All I do know based on how it was before TLP, it runs @ 5C ~ 6C cooler, and battery life is @ 40 mins longer.

That's a good sign for you. But as far as I know. Linux always without exception needs at least some form of tweaking. That goes for almost every package or system there is for it. At least that's my experience. And I have posted these questions in LinuxQuestions.org
